Mass, Volume and Density

There is a formula that we can use to solve for these variables:

[tex]D=\dfrac{m}{V}[/tex]

Solving the Question:

We're given:

  • m = 17 g
  • V = 7.4 mL

⇒ Plug the given values into the equation:

[tex]D=\dfrac{m}{V}\\\\D=\dfrac{17g}{7.4mL}\\\\D=2.3g/mL[/tex]

Answer

The density of the metal is 2.3 g/mL.
